Wa-Hi’s 1963 transformer fails leaving music building in the dark

Wa-Hi’s 1963 transformer fails leaving music building in the dark
The Walla Walla High School Music Building electrical transformer, which was installed in 1963, permanently failed this week. The choir and band classrooms did not have electricity Monday and web and email service was down the following day. Classes were held in other areas of the school during the power outage.

The electrical service to the Music Building classrooms is now operating off of the Performing Arts Auditorium transformer which was installed in 1991. Now both buildings are powered up by the 1991 transformer.

A load meter was installed this week to determine if the 1991 transformer can handle the additional power load draw. A 30 day reading is needed to determine if the district needs to upgrade the transformer.
